What the panel ordered
Petition for Reconsideration denied
What was disputed, and how it came out
Each issue the panel decided, with the reasoning it gave. An outcome is what this panel did on this record — not a rule, and not a prediction.
The WCJ's credibility determination that the applicant was not terminated but quit was given great weight and supported by substantial evidence, so the defense under Labor Code 3600(a)(10) did not apply.
